The Different Styles of Panties

When it comes to a woman's undergarments, there is often a natural conflict between comfort and sensuality. Although many brands have claimed to incorporate both, few seem to have actually made the grade.

The battle between comfort and support when it comes to panties for a woman is also one of personal preference. Some women love the freedom of a thong while others can't stand the feeling. It is simply a matter of preference.

Much like bras, bottoms or panties come in a wide variety of styles. You wouldn't think so at first glance, but they do. Let's take a quick look at the styles and when you might use them in relation to other clothing or events.

The full brief has to be the starting point for our discussion. This is the foundation of your bottoms collection. It offers comfort and support, but next to no intimate appeal. Going grocery shopping for the family? This is the choice.

The second standard bearer when it comes to women's bottoms is the bikini. Many believe it is the perfect mesh of comfort and intimacy. You can increase or decrease both by mixing and matching patterns, materials, and versions with strings on the hips.

Sexy, low cut jeans have become a trend with many women. Basic briefs show above the jean cut, so an alternative is necessary. Low set waist panties, also known as hipsters, are the solution. They offer lower profiles that aren't seen, but practical comfort and support.

The boy short is a very comfortable bottom for women. This style is very similar to biking pants, except with a snugger fit, no padding and much shorter leggings. With their low waist cuts, they go well with skirts and low cut pants.

Like the look of a thong, but can't stand the high riding uncomfortable sensation? Give a Tanga a try. It is essentially a thong, but with more back support. It is an attempt to combine the comfort of a regular bottom with the sexiness of a thong.

Panties may seem a minor thing when it comes to outfits, but they can make a big difference. From horrific panty lines to dark colors showing through light colored pants, we've all seen mistakes made. Don't be one of the unlucky who has the same problems.
